Burg Wachter 100D 14mm Heavy Duty Sold Secure Diamond & Gold Padlock U Lock - Black

Very well build and heavy lock.I like having just one key for all three locks.The silver middle part is just a plastic ring that can be rotate to cover the key hole.

Very substantial heavy locks.Need three hands to lock them sometimes.16mm+ hole required.

standard shackle lock. does the job. would recommend

Strong, and compact

This is my review of the Burg Wachter 100D 14mm Heavy Duty Sold Secure Diamond & Gold Padlock U LockThis lock is surprisingly small for a shackle lock. It is too small to be used on it's own as it will need a cable or a chain as well in order to secure your bike.The small size of this lock is perfect for attaching around a part of the frame whilst you are cycling and not being overly heavy and still having an amazing security rating.(Sold Secure Diamond for cycle use)The weakest link is not this lock but will be the steel cable that I am using which I believe only has a silver rating. Sometimes however I do not want to be weighed down with the bigger 2kg shackle lock if I am nearby to the bike and I perceive the theft risk to be lower.I think that it is better to use a larger shackle lock that goes through the bike frame and around the bike rack or whatever you are securing your bike to but unfortunately the enclosed section on my folding bike is very low down and I find it easier to use a cable to reach up to the securing point and I needed a smaller lock to facilitate this which is why I purchased this lock.If I had to leave my bike in a higher risk area I would make sure to use this small shackle lock with the cable and also take the larger heavier shackle lock and find a place where I was able to use the larger shackle lock through the frame and around the bike rack and also the cable also through the frame and around a secured object with this smaller shackle lock. The bike may still get stolen as the crooks seem to not be bothered who sees or hears them but at least you have done your best to make it hard for them and maybe they will go elsewhere.

This is very sturdy but also lightweight. I use it with a thick cable or chain to lock up my MTB and my electric scooter whilst at work. I also use it to secure a huge portable power bank to an anchor point in my campervan. Excellent bit of kit. I actually have 3 of these and would prefer these over a standard padlock providing you can get the thick latch through the chain to secure. Highly recommend

Good, strong padlock

Seams strong use on a kids quad bike to keep it safe no problems yet. But let's face it if someone wanted to steal your item I sure they will find some way to do it.
